I have been working in animal welfare for 19 years. In 2023, I took over the position as President for Wags and Wiggles. I am always looking for ways to further educate myself to make sure we are helping our community in the smartest and safest way possible. Being a mom to a child with cerebral palsy and epilepsy, I have a soft spot for the medically needy. I have really become interested in taking on more medical cases, especially dogs with orthopedic issues. My role in the rescue is a little bit of everything, but primarily intake and medical/behavior assessing. I personally make sure each dog we adopt is safe and healthy before placing them in homes.
I’ve been a lifelong animal rescuer and advocate. After rescuing all of my dogs I decided it was time to give back to the community that had given me so much. I’ve officially been with Wags since 2021. I started out fostering and ended up in a position to be able to do more. Now I fill in wherever needed. From processing applications, setting up meet & greets, setting up & going to events and fundraising. I do a little bit of everything as much as I can to help keep things running smoothly.
